Kelly, Jr., General Manager Steven R. Ritchie, Assistant General Manager,. ater Water Supply Assessment for the 1629 Market Street Project 1.0 Summary 1.1 Introduction Under the Water Supply Assessment law (Sections through of the California Water Code), urban water suppliers like the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) must furnish a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) to the city or county that has jurisdiction to approve the environmental documentation for certain qualifying projects (as defined in Water Code Section (a)) subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The WSA process typically relies on information contained in a water supplier's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), and involves answering specific questions related to the estimated water demand of the proposed project. This memo serves as the WSA for the proposed 1629 Market Street Project ("proposed project"), for use in the preparation of an environmental impact report by the City and County of San Francisco Planning Department (case no ENV, San Francisco Planning Department) Urban Water Management Plan The SFPUC's most current UWMP is the UWMP update for 2015, which was adopted in June The water demand projections in the UWMP incorporated 2012 Land Use Allocation (LUA 2012) housing and employment growth projections from the San Francisco Planning Department. The WSA for a qualifying project within the SFPUC's retail service area may use information from the UWMP. Therefore, the 2015 UWMP is incorporated via references throughout this WSA shown in bold, italicized text. The UWMP may be accessed at Edwin M.

2 Memo to Commissioners WSA for 1629 Market Street Project September 13, 2016 Page 2 of Basis for Requiring a WSA for the Proposed Project The proposed project has not been the subject of a previous WSA, nor has it been part of a larger project for which a WSA was completed. The proposed project qualifies for preparation of a WSA under Water Code Section 10912(a) because it is a mixed-use residential development that includes more than 500 dwelling units. The proposed project is characterized further in Section Conclusion of this WSA In this WSA, the SFPUC concludes that there are adequate water supplies to serve the proposed project and cumulative retail water demands during normal years, single dry years, and multiple dry years over a 20-year planning horizon from 2020 through Additional information on supply sufficiency is provided in Section 4.2, Findings. 1.2 Proposed Project Description The project sponsor, Strada Brady, LLC, proposes to completely demolish the United Association Local 38 Plumbers and Pipefitter s Union Hall (UA Local 38) building, partially demolish the retail building at 1637 Market Street and add a vertical addition, and rehabilitate the Civic Center Hotel and add a vertical addition. The proposed project would include construction of approximately 477 market-rate residential rental units and about 9,275 square feet of retail/restaurant space along Market, 12th, and Brady Streets in four buildings (including the two vertical additions added to the rehabilitated Civic Center Hotel and behind the retained Market Street façade of the retail building at 1637 Market Street); construction of a fifth building containing an additional 107 units of affordable housing with on-site social services; and construction of a sixth building containing an approximately 27,300-square-foot new union hall and offices for UA Local 38. The planned Brady Street open space would be developed, in addition to open space in courtyards between the four market-rate buildings, which would extend southward from Market Street with their principal axes perpendicular to the street. Each of these four buildings and the supportive housing building, which would front on Colton Street, would include additional common open space for residents on the rooftops. The project site is located on the south side of Market Street between Brady and 12th streets, within San Francisco s Market and Octavia Area Plan. Refer to Attachment B for further details on the proposed project. 2.0 Water Supply This section reviews San Francisco s existing and planned water supplies. 2.1 Regional Water System See Section 3.1 of the UWMP for descriptions of the Regional Water System (RWS) and Section 6.1 of the UWMP for water rights held by City and County of San Francisco and the SFPUC Water System Improvement Program (WSIP). 2.2 Existing Retail Supplies Retail water supplies from the RWS are described in Section 6.1 of the UWMP. Local groundwater supplies, including the Westside Groundwater Basin, Central Groundwater Sub Basin, and Sunol Filter Gallery Subsurface Diversions, are described in Section of the UWMP. Local recycled water supplies, including the Harding Park Recycled Water Project and Pacifica Recycled Water Project, are described in Section of the UWMP.

3 Memo to Commissioners WSA for 1629 Market Street Project September 13, 2016 Page 3 of Planned Retail Water Supply Sources The San Francisco Groundwater Supply Project is described in Section of the UWMP. The proposed Westside and Eastside Recycled Water Projects, as well as non-potable water supplies associated with onsite water systems implemented in compliance with San Francisco s Non-potable Water Ordinance (Health Code Chapter 12C), are also described in Section of the UWMP. 2.4 Summary of Current and Future Retail Water Supplies A breakdown of water supply sources for meeting SFPUC retail water demand through 2040 in normal years is provided in Section of the UWMP. 2.5 Dry-Year Water Supplies A description of dry-year supplies developed under WSIP is provided in Section 7.2 of the UWMP. Other water supply reliability projects and efforts that are currently underway or completed are described in Section 7.4 of the UWMP. A breakdown of water supply sources for meeting SFPUC retail water demand through 2040 in multiple dry years are provided in Section 7.5 of the UWMP. For a single dry year, the retail RWS allocation and, thus, the breakdown of water supply sources would be the same as those in a normal year. 3.0 Water Demand This section reviews the climatic and demographic factors that may affect San Francisco s water use, projected retail water demands, and the demand associated with the proposed project. 3.1 Climate San Francisco has a Mediterranean climate. Summers are cool and winters are mild with infrequent rainfall. Temperatures in the San Francisco area average 57 degrees Fahrenheit annually, ranging from the mid-40s in winter to the upper 60s in late summer. Strong onshore flow of wind in summer keeps the air cool, generating fog through September. The warmest temperatures generally occur in September and October. Rainfall in the San Francisco area averages about 22 inches per year and is generally confined to the wet season from late October to early May. Except for occasional light drizzles from thick marine stratus clouds, summers are nearly completely dry. A summary of the temperature and rainfall data for the City of San Francisco is included in Table 1.

The corresponding LUA 2012projections for housing and employment in San Francisco, which are incorporated into the projected retail water demands, are provided in Appendix E of the UWMP. 3.3 Projected Retail Water Demands For the 2015 UWMP, the SFPUC developed a new set of models that incorporate socioeconomic factors to project retail demands through These models incorporate the latest housing and employment projections from LUA See Section 4.1 of the UWMP for tabulated retail water demand projections through 2040 and a description of the model methodology. 3.4 Proposed Project Water Demand Strada Brady, LLC s water resource consultants provided a memo describing the methods and assumptions used to estimate the water demand of the proposed project, along with the resulting demand (Attachment B). The SFPUC reviewed the memo to ensure that the methodology is appropriate for the types of proposed water uses, the assumptions are valid and thoroughly documented along with verifiable data sources, and a professional standard of care was used. The SFPUC concluded that the demand estimates provided by Strada Brady, LLC s consultants are reasonable. Water demand associated with the proposed project over the 20-year planning horizon is shown in the following table.

Therefore, the demand of the proposed project is also encompassed within the San Francisco retail water demands that are presented in Section 4.1 of the UWMP, which considers retail water demand based on the LUA 2012 projections. The following table shows the demand of the proposed project relative to total retail demand. Table 3: Proposed Project Demand Relative to Total Retail Demand Total Retail Demand (mgd) Total Demand of Proposed Project (mgd) Portion of Total Retail Demand % 0.08% 0.07% 0.07% Notes: 1. Retail water demands per Table 4-1 of the UWMP. 2. The proposed project is accounted for in the LUA 2012 projections and subsequent retail water demand projections. 4.0 Conclusion 4.1 Comparison of Projected Supply and Demand Section 7.5 of the UWMP compares the SFPUC s retail water supplies and demands through 2040 during normal year, single dry-, and multiple dry-year periods. See Table 4, below, which is adapted from the UWMP (Table 7-4). As explained previously in Section 3.4, water demands associated with the proposed project are already captured in the retail demand projections presented in the UWMP. The proposed project is expected to represent up to 0.08 percent of the total retail water demand.

6 Memo to Commissioners WSA for 1629 Market Street Project September 13, 2016 Page 6 of 7 Table 4: Projected Supply and Demand Comparison (mgd) Normal Year Single Dry Year 1 Multiple Dry Years Year 1 1 Year 2 2 Year 3 2 Total Retail Demand Total Retail Supply Surplus/(Deficit) Total Retail Demand Total Retail Supply Surplus/(Deficit) Total Retail Demand Total Retail Supply Surplus/(Deficit) Total Retail Demand Total Retail Supply Surplus/(Deficit) Total Retail Demand Total Retail Supply Surplus/(Deficit) (1.1) (1.1) Notes: 1. During a single dry year and multiple dry year 1, a system-wide shortage of 10% is in effect. Under the Water Shortage Allocation Plan (WSAP), the retail supply allocation at this stage of shortage is 36.0% of available RWS supply, or 85.9 mgd. However, due to the Phased WSIP Variant, only 81 mgd of RWS supply can be delivered. RWS supply is capped at this amount. 2. During multiple dry years 2 and 3, a system-wide shortage of 20% is in effect. Under the WSAP, the retail supply allocation at this stage of shortage is 37.5% of available RWS supply, or 79.5 mgd. RWS supply is capped at this amount. 3. Total retail demands correspond to those in Table 4-1 of the UWMP, and reflect both passive and active conservation, as well as water loss. 4. Total retail supplies correspond to those in Table 6-7 of the UWMP. Procedures for RWS allocations and the WSAP are described in Section 8.3 of the UWMP. Groundwater and recycled water are assumed to be used before RWS supplies to meet retail demand. However, if groundwater and recycled water supplies are not available, up to 81 mgd, or the corresponding capped amount in dry years, of RWS supply could be used. The LUA 2012 projections result in a retail demand in 2035 of 85.9 mgd, which represents a 5.0 mgd, or 6 percent, increase over the 2035 demand projected in the 2010 UWMP. The ability to meet the demand of the retail customers is in large part due to development of 10 mgd of local WSIP supplies, including conservation, groundwater, and recycled water. These supplies are anticipated to be fully implemented over the next 10 to 15 years. If planned future water supply projects (i.e., San Francisco Groundwater Supply Project, Westside Recycled Water Project, Eastside Recycled Water Project, and onsite non-potable supplies) are not implemented, normal-year supplies may not be enough to meet projected retail demands. To balance any water supply deficits during normal years, the SFPUC may import additional water from the RWS beyond the retail allocation of 81 mgd, with mitigation implemented by the SFPUC and potential environmental surcharges if RWS deliveries exceed the 265 mgd interim supply limitation.

7 Memo to Commissioners WSA for 1629 Market Street Project September 13, 2016 Page 7 of 7 If dry-year supply projects (i.e., Calaveras Dam Replacement Project, Lower Crystal Springs Dam Improvements Project, Alameda Creek Recapture, Regional Groundwater Storage and Recovery Project, and water transfers) are not implemented, existing dry year supplies may not be enough to meet projected retail demands. To balance any water supply deficits during dry years, the SFPUC may reduce system deliveries and impose customer rationing. The SFPUC remains committed to meeting the level of service goals and objectives outlined under WSIP. In addition, the SFPUC continues to explore other future supplies, including: Development of additional conservation and recycling. Development of additional groundwater supplies. Securing of additional water transfer volumes. Increasing Tuolumne River supply. 4.2 Findings Regarding the availability of water supplies to serve the proposed project beginning in 2021, the SFPUC finds, based on the entire record before it, as follows: During normal years, single dry years, and multiple dry years, the SFPUC has sufficient water supplies to serve the proposed project. With the addition of planned retail supplies, the SFPUC has sufficient water supplies available to serve its retail customers, including the demands of the proposed project, existing customers, and foreseeable future development. Approval of this WSA by the Commission is not equivalent to approval of the development project for which the WSA is prepared. A WSA is an informational document required to be prepared for use in the City s environmental review of a project under CEQA. It assesses the adequacy of water supplies to serve the proposed project and cumulative demand. Furthermore, this WSA is not a will serve letter and does not verify the adequacy of existing distribution system capacity to serve the proposed project. A will serve letter and/or hydraulic analysis must be requested separately from the SFPUC City Distribution Division to verify hydraulic capacity. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact Steve Ritchie at (415) or SRitchie@sfwater.org.

11 DATE: June 13, 2013 TO: FROM: RE: SF Planning EP Planners & SFPUC Planners Scott T. Edmondson, AICP; Aksel Olsen Project Types Represented in the Land Use Allocation This Memorandum explains the Planning Department s Land Use Allocation (LUA) and the types of projects included in the LUA. The 2012 LUA is the most recent update and uses the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) May 2012 Jobs-Housing Connection Scenario. As this memorandum explains, the Planning Department expects that the LUA will encompass the vast majority of development proposals that project sponsors will present to the Planning Department. This memorandum also identifies possible unusual circumstances under which EP Planners and the SF PUC Planners may want to consult further with the Planning Department s Information and Analysis Group to determine whether a project is encompassed within the LUA. ABAG s Projections of San Francisco s Economic Growth and the LUA The LUA takes ABAG s 30-year projections of citywide household and job growth and allocates them to smaller geographic units, in this case, the traffic analysis zones of the SF Transportation Authority s Countywide Transportation Model. Thus, the LUA does not project growth but simply allocates ABAG s growth projections to subarea locations within the city. The current 2012 LUA uses ABAG s Jobs-Housing Connection Scenario projections for San Francisco and covers the period from 2010 to 2040; these projections were released in May 2012 and are represented in five-year increments. ABAG derives its demographic and economic growth projections from assumptions about long-term demographic and economic growth. 1 ABAG maintains its own set of regional models and develops each forecast with its in-house experts and private economic consultants. 2 The forecasting is informed by the best information and assumptions available through federal and State agencies, such as the State Department of Finance, and private sources. However, ABAG develops its forecast based on local knowledge from over 50 years of forecasting and develops the forecast to reflect local conditions in contrast to more general forecasting assumptions of State or federal sources. ABAG s estimate of total citywide growth for the 30-year period is expected to best represent actual growth at the end of the 30- year period. However, projected growth for any portion of the projection period, such as growth in a oneyear or a five-year period, would be expected to vary from actual growth in such periods. Within the 30- year growth projection period, higher than average growth periods could be followed by lower than average growth periods such that growth over the period would ultimately equal the projected 30-year Memo

12 SF Planning EP Planners & PUC Planners June 13, 2013 total. All projection methodologies make assumptions based on the best available information at the time. To minimize the effects of imprecision intrinsic to any projections methodology when used in for planning decisions, ABAG follows professional best practices and updates its projections every two years. Accordingly, the Planning Department updates its LUA every two years. The planning practice of frequently updating projections and plans allows the incorporation of new information over time to provide for the most up-to-date projections. The SFPUC updates its Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years. The UWMP typically relies on LUA projections or similar information. But, because the LUA is updated every two years, the SFPUC may want to review the LUA issued within SFPUC s 5-year UWMP cycle; and if it varies in a significant way from the SFPUC s projections used in its UWMP, discuss with Planning whether it should make any changes in its own water supply needs assessment during an UWMP cycle. Types of Projects Included in the LUA The LUA translates ABAG s projected household and job growth into total expected development in San Francisco over a 30-year period. The LUA translates ABAG s household growth into residential housing units and ABAG s job growth into commercial space. 3 Thus, the LUA projections of housing units and commercial space include all project types expected from San Francisco growth, such as housing, office, retail, production-distribution-repair (PDR), visitor, and cultural-institutional-educational (CIE). The LUA does not exclude any project type or potential growth. As such, the LUA and the ABAG economic projections upon which it is based contain the best estimates available of reasonably foreseeable growth and development in San Francisco over a 30-year period. Unusual Circumstances The LUA can be considered to include all reasonably expected growth and development and it is frequently updated to correct for expected variations. Nevertheless, there are possible unusual circumstances under which the EP Planners or SFPUC Planners may want to request further Planning Department consultation with the Information and Analysis Group to determine if a particular project falls within the LUA. ABAG s projections and the Department s LUA take into account urban economic trends and based on that information capture all reasonably foreseeable growth in San Francisco. Limited capital and aggregate demand of any urban economy constrains growth. However, occasionally the reality or perception may arise that a project lies outside the normal growth constraints of the San Francisco economy for some reason, and therefore lies outside ABAG s projection s and the Department s current spatial allocation in its LUA. One can envision the rare case of a project arising outside the City s economy (demand and capital) from an organization not located in San Francisco using nonprofit foundation funds or private donations to construct a large institutional project in San Francisco, such as a major hospital, a university, or an office complex. These projects would represent spending and demand beyond that normally active in the San Francisco economy, and therefore represent net additions to projected growth beyond that captured by ABAG s projections and reflected in the Department s LUA. Indicative characteristics of such projects 2

13 SF Planning EP Planners & PUC Planners June 13, 2013 would include those with non-local sponsors, of large size, and for an institutional land use. Alternatively, very large project proposals from local project sponsors active in the SF economy involving a large site, land assembly, a planned unit development (PUDs), master plans, or area plan and rezoning proposals may warrant individual assessment for a range of reasons even though they are likely captured in ABAG s projections and the LUA. Such projects would be similar to recent projects such as Hunters Point/Candlestick, Park Merced, Treasure Island, Pier 70 Master Plan, Eastern Neighborhoods, or the Transit Center District Plan. The bi-annual update of ABAG s projections and the LUA would be able to capture development associated with such projects. However, should such a project be proposed between updates, the EP Planners and SFPUC could treat its appearance as sufficient cause to request the Planning Department s assistance in determining whether to consider the project outside the latest LUA projections. 1 Please see ABAG s summary of its research and forecasting on its website: 2 ABAG describes its current Jobs-Housing Scenario policy-based forecast here: 3 The LUA citywide totals only differ slightly, up to within one percent of ABAG totals (+/-). The difference is produced by LUA s complex method of translating ABAG projections into development (residential units and commercial space) and allocating total citywide growth to subarea locations. The minor difference between the LUA and ABAG citywide totals is real in absolute terms, but not in the sense that they are different projections. The one percent difference does not constitute a difference of projections. ABAG and MTC consider variation of one percent in citywide totals, plus or minus, as sufficiently representing ABAG s projections for consistency with the MTC regional projections and modeling purposes (congestion management, etc.). Even if a few versions of the LUA must be done to make minor subarea spatial allocation corrections, as long as the LUA s citywide totals are within one percent of ABAG s projections, and ABAG s projections have not changed, the LUA citywide totals have not effectively changed either. Any of those LUA versions citywide totals fully represent the same unchanged ABAG projection totals. 3

17 550 Kearny Street Suite 800 San Francisco, CA phone fax memorandum date September 12, 2016 to from subject Debra Dwyer, San Francisco Planning Department, Environmental Planning William Goodman and Katie Hofstetter, Strada Investment Group 1629 Market Street: Water Supply Assessment Request The purpose of the memorandum is to provide the specific project information necessary for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to prepare a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for the proposed 1629 Market Street project (proposed project). This memo provides a brief project description, description of alternatives, and estimated project water and wastewater demands for the proposed project, based on the calculations developed in the SFPUC Non-Potable Water Calculator, Version 3.3. Project Description The project sponsor, Strada Brady, LLC, proposes to completely demolish the United Association Local 38 Plumbers and Pipefitter s Union Hall (UA Local 38) building, partially demolish the retail building at 1637 Market Street and add a vertical addition, and rehabilitate the Civic Center Hotel and add a vertical addition. The proposed project (Assessor s Block 3505, Lots 001, 007, 008, 027, 028, 029, 031, 031A, 032, 032A, 033, 033A, 034, and 035) would include construction of approximately 477 market-rate residential rental units and about 9,275 square feet of retail/restaurant space along Market, 12th, and Brady Streets in four buildings (including the two vertical additions added to the rehabilitated Civic Center Hotel and behind the retained Market Street façade of the retail building at 1637 Market Street); construction of a fifth building containing an additional 107 units of affordable housing with on-site social services; and construction of a sixth building containing an approximately 27,300-square-foot new union hall and offices for UA Local 38. The planned Brady Street open space would be developed, in addition to open space in courtyards between the four market-rate buildings, which would extend southward from Market Street with their principal axes perpendicular to the street. Each of these four buildings and the supportive housing building, which would front on Colton Street, would include additional common open space for residents on the rooftops. The project site is located on the south side of Market Street between Brady and 12th streets, within San Francisco s Market and Octavia Area Plan. Table 1 provides a summary of the relevant project information.

An approximately 140-foot-long portion of the existing frontage of the 1637 Market Street retail building would be retained and used for the proposed retail uses along Market Street. Similarly, the existing Civic Center Hotel at 12th and Market streets would be retained with a vertical addition for residential uses and retail uses on the ground floor. The fifth residential building would contain 107 affordable housing units in a six-story building located on Colton Street; a rooftop deck also would be provided. The proposed residential and retail/restaurant component would contain approximately 498,142 gross square feet (gsf) of residential space, 9,275 gsf of retail/restaurant space on the first and second floors (approximately 6,275 gsf of retail and 3,000 gsf of restaurant), and approximately 17,542 gsf of common residential open space in the form of roof decks, and ground-floor open space.

An approximately 4,535-square-foot, publicly-accessible mid-block alley would separate two of the residential components and afford pedestrian connectivity through the project site, providing access from Market Street to the 18,148-square-foot Brady Square Park. 2

19 1629 Market Street: Water Supply Assessment Request Tables 3, 4, and 5 show information pertinent to the estimate of water demand for the proposed project; this includes the proposed office, retail/restaurant, and residential square footages as well as the site coverage data. The land uses and site coverage data are based on the total square footage of the proposed project, as well as total employment, housing unit occupancy, and square footage of impervious or landscaped area. As the types of retail uses are not known at this time, it is assumed for the purposes of calculating water demand that the building would employ general retail uses. Consistent with the City s Non-Potable Water Ordinance, it is likely that actual project water demand will be lower, after incorporation of the use of low-flow fixtures and other water saving measures (including reuse), that are not yet fully defined at this time. TABLE 3 PROPOSED PROJECT, BUILDING INPUTS GSF Per Land Use Commercial Use Occupancy Proposed Use Total Proposed (gsf) Days in Use FTE Transient FTE Estimated FTE Estimated Transient FTE Office 27, Retail 6, Restaurant 3, TOTAL 36, Between the general office, retail, and restaurant care uses on site, it is anticipated that the project would employ approximately 127 FTEs and 80 transient FTEs at buildout. Likewise, for residential occupancy of the proposed project, default values of 2.01 persons per household were used for an estimated 1,174 residents living onsite at buildout.

Just over half of the project site would be covered in impervious surfaces, which would include the roof and sidewalk/alleyway areas. More than half of the site area would consist of rooftop open spaces, which would be a mix of paving and landscaped areas.

20 1629 Market Street: Water Supply Assessment Request Proposed Project Demand Table 6 shows the estimated daily and annual water demand for the proposed project by land use category. As shown, the total water use for the project would be 62,038 gallons per day (gpd), or million gallons per year (gpy). Of the total water demand, 62,038 gpd would be for indoor water use and 463 gpd would be for irrigation purposes. In addition, SFPUC estimates that approximately 90 percent pf water supplied is discharged as wastewater into the sewer system; therefore, the project would discharge around 55,834 mgd, or 20.3 million gpy, of wastewater. Lastly, because the project would comply with the City s Non-potable Water Ordinance, other water saving measures not yet determined at this time, but which could involve water efficient fixtures and onsite reuse, could result in the availability of 28,080 gpd, or 10,249,153 gpy of greywater to offset projected water demand.
